COMING SOOM FROM MOVIESCORE MEDIA

Music from the movies of Dolph Lundgren all have one thing in common, be it Bill Conti’s masterpiece Masters of the Universe, the recent Brian Tyler potboilers for the Expendables movies or Jay Chattaway’s Red Scorpion: they are highly energetic and powerful. This latest addition, a joint venture involving composers Brian Jackson Harris, Justin Raines and Michael Wickstrom as well as rock numbers by various artists, is another example of a driving Dolphscore. With its emphasis on rock aesthetics – heavy metal riffs and drumming – this score is an unusual entry in the MovieScore Media catalogue. The film, which co-stars Cung Le, Vinnie Jones and Briana Evigan, is also known as A Certain Justice and was released on DVD in the US on March 11.

Telling the highly original story about a group of 80 people from differing backgrounds who are forced to take part in a horrific race of terror, The Human Race is an independent sci-fi thriller that is currently building momentum around the world. A winner of several film festival awards and critically praised, The Human Race features a highly energetic electronic score by Marinho Nobre, a composer whose other credits include Al Qarem and Sacred Game. The Human Race was released in the UK in March reaching #1 in the charts and anticipation is high over the USA release in June!

Jeff Grace HELLBENDERS (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) SWR14003

MovieScore Media and Screamworks Records have released a handful of ingenious horror scores penned by Jeff Grace, including The Last Winter, Stake Land and The Innkeepers. Grace’s latest score is for J.T. Petty’s Hellbenders, a hilarious horror comedy about the Augustine Interfaith Order of Hellbound Saints, a team of blasphemous ministers who live in a constant state of debauchery, working to drag the worst of demons back to Hell. As always, Grace’s music is both entertaining and musically interesting, and just like I Sell the Dead, it effectively combines straight-forward horror action scoring with tongue-in-cheek musical movements. A must have for any fan of Jeff Grace’s music!

Co-inciding with the US theatrical release of Daniel Stamm’s horror thriller starring Ron Perlman, Mark Webber and Pruitt Taylor Vince, Screamworks Records will release Michael Wandmacher’s eerie and highly effective score for the film which was previously known as Angry Little God. This is MovieScore Media and Screamworks’ third release of Wandmacher’s music following The Killing Floor (2008) and The Last Exorcism: Part 2 (2013). Creepy and suspenseful just like those two, and featuring a truly unique sound palette, 13 Sins further establishes Wandmacher as one of the strongest voices in horror film scoring.

Paying tribute to the legendary Bernard Herrmann, and perhaps even more to the 1970s horror film scoring of Pino Donaggio, The Newton Brothers’ string-dominated score for Zack Parker’s Proxy is possibly this year’s biggest film music surprise! The stylish score, which kicks off with the spine-chilling ‘Prelude for Proxy’, is as far away as you can get from the typical low budget genre score. This psychological thriller about a woman who looses her baby following a brutal attack features music that is dark and mesmerizing and employs a lot of “classic” horror film scoring tricks that will remind listeners of such genre classics as Psycho and Carrie (the film itself has also been compared to early Brian de Palma films). With this score, The Newton Brothers (Detachment, Setup and High School) will get their big break-through in soundtrack circles. Our digital release of the score coincides with IFC Midnight’s limited theatrical release of the film in the US on April 18.
